Completely disassemble your vent from the dryer to where it exits the building. Clean out all lint. Disconnect the dryer from the electrical service and check for lint build up inside the machine. This lint build up usually makes the motor shut down on it thermal overload. Check the motor also to see if the air vents on it are blocked with lint. If no lint is present, the motor or the start relay need to be replaced.

A dryer motor has an internal thermal proctive device. It may have started out with a severe vent restriction which would not allow proper airflow through the dryer cabinet. A lint build up can result in the motor overheating as you described. The fact that nothing is happening at all would lead me to suspect one of the following. The motor failed completely, a thermal fuse opened, a circuit breaker triped or a fuse opened. Any one of these conditions would prevent dryer operation. But then, so would something as simple as a failed door switch. You may want to get a pro in to let you know what your options are......After you cycle your dryer circuit breaker, or check the fuses.
Testimonial: "Thanks-checked the circuit breaker and will check out the vent next. "

it's overheating,you could have a bad motor or the dryer just needs to be cleaned out,when was the last time you cleaned it out? try disconnecting the vent line from the back of dryer and run it for a while,you should see a difference but you'll still need to clean out the duct that the lint filter slides into unplug the dryer first,vac out the inside of dryer where the motor is and if the vent line is a long run from the back of dryer to the outside vent i use a leaf blower to clean out the vent line,just make sure the outside vent isn't blocked with anything because if it is the vent line can pop.you should clean the dryer once a year,your clothes will dey on time,less parts will go on you and you won't have to worry about dryer fires
A Whirlpool Duet dryer has a latch on the interior frame of the door. It essentially locks the door closed when the dryer is operating to keep you from opening the door and becoming injured by the tumbling drum. The dryer can only run when the latch is secured. If the latch breaks, a dryer might start but shut off prematurely. Open the door and press the latch down with your finger. It should make a ticking sound when you release it. Replace it if it doesn't.
A dryer's power cord delivers electricity from the electrical outlet to the machine. If the power cord isn't firmly plugged into the outlet, it can interfere with the electricity transfer. While your Whirlpool Duet dryer might start, it probably will shut off soon afterward if the cord is wobbly. Also, if cords wires are visible through the rubber encasing, the cord might be defective. Though the dryer turns on, a faulty power cord might not be able to sustain the dryer's long-term operation.
The Whirlpool Duet dryer's control panel operates with the support of multiple wires that link to various dryer components. After you choose a drying setting and turn on your dryer, the control panel begins running elements of the dryer. If one of the wires fails, it can disrupt the performance of your dryer. Contact a dryer repair specialist if you suspect that the control panel might have short circuited. If your dryer is still under warranty, rather than replace the corrupt wire, he might recommend replacing the entire panel.
